DISPENSING-RE CEPTACLE.

Application filed March l0, 1919.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HERBERT B. Hitlers? a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Dispensing-Beceptacles, of which the following is a specification.

The primary obj ect of this invention is the production of an oil can thatJ may be conveniently carried without soiling the clothing. Among further objects of the invention are simplicity of construction and greater effectiveness in use.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specication, Figure l is a side elevation of an oil can embodying my invention, the nozzle being shown placed in the pocket of the can and a closure being shown over its outlet, portions of the structure being broken away and in section and the broken lines indicating the position the nozzle assumes when adjusted over the outlet. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of alternative construction of my invention, parts of the structure being broken away and in section, and Fig. 3 is a plan of the structure illustrated in Fig. 2.

Referring to Fig. l of the drawing, A indicates the body of the can which may be of any usual or preferred shape.' The top of the can is provided with an outlet B which is surrounded by a threaded upstanding collar C. A threaded cap D is shown screwed onto the collar and serves as a closure. E indicates a nozzle, the lower end of which is enlarged and threaded to screw onto the collar C when the closure D is removed as indicated by the brokenlines in Fig. l. lVhen thus adjusted the oil can can be used in the usual manner for applying lubrication. After the can has been used as an oiler, the nozzle can be removed and the closure D is placed over the collar C. A pocket is formed by the inwardly Vtapering wall F which projects inwardly from and is integral with one of the walls of the can. As shown in Fig. l this pocket projects upwardly from the bottom wall G and at or near its junction with the bottom wall it is formed with a threaded band H into which the threaded portion of the nozzle is adapted to screw for the purpose of holding the nozzle securely in the Specification of Letters Patent.

pocket out of the way so as not to produce any unnecessary protuberance from the receptacle.

The invention is extremely simple and the adjustment of the nozzle either in the pocket or on the threaded collar for use when applying' oil as a lubricant can easily and quickly be accomplished. In the use of the oiler to facilitate turning the nozzle into threaded engagement with the wall of the pocket F, a bar I is provided in the nozzle which may be engaged bv hand. In the construction illustrated in Fios. 2 and 3 the pocket J is formed in the top wall K of the oil can and is formed at its upper end with an upwardly projecting` shoulder L which is threaded and into which the nozzle is inserted when removed from the threaded collar M for fastening the nozzle in the pocket. The body of the case is of flat form so that the device can more readily be carried in the pocket of the user.

The invention may be variously modified, one of the modifications only being illustrated within the spirit thereof.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

l. In a dispensing vessel the combination of a vessel body having an orifice, a delivery nozzle adapted to be detachably coupled to said receptacle over said orifice, and a pocket in a wall of said receptacle formed with a coupling` element, said pocket being adapted to receive said nozzle when detached from said receptacle over said orifice and to detachably connect with said coupling.

2. In a dispensing vessel the combination of a vessel body having an orifice surrounded by a threaded coupling element and with a pocket in one of its walls provided with a threaded coupling element at its upper end and a dispensing nozzle formed with a threaded coupling element adapted to be secured over the threaded coupling element surrounding said orifice when used for dispensing purposes and to be inserted in said pocket and engaged with said coupling element at the outer end of said pocket.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signed my name to this specification.

HERBERT B. HYAMS.
